1) Have someone nearby just above low HP aggro range.
2) Wait for other guild to get mob to 96%
3) Summonee nukes himself into low HP aggro to get summoned.

It's a reasonable counterargument, Yendor, although I think it's not as easy as it sounds. I suppose with mallets and such you could consider it 'FTE at 97%' but the big point is all this DA tanking/stalling BS goes away.

What are the holes in Xasten's "first to commit" idea we're not seeing?

Well the obvious one is that summoning and the appropriate messages are already coded in, while multiple FTE shouts are not, and may require more coding server side than the simple scripts Nilbog is talking about.

But of course I think Xasten has a reasonable idea as well.
